Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.

Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens

Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she's a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It's a secret that could cost her a head—or a tail.

Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper's nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary's secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll.

With a royally clever sense of humor, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this YA fantasy ideal for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Industry Reviews

?"Fast-paced, well-plotted, frequently hilarious--as delicious as the finest French pastry." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Praise for My Calamity Jane: "Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down. A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for My Plain Jane:
? "The authors' affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A delightfully deadpan deconstruction of a Gothic novel, with a ghost almost no one can see providing the commentary. Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good." -- ALA Booklist (starred review)

"A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge, and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings, and her heroine." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

Praise for My Lady Jane: "Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight." -- Booklist (starred review)

"An uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Gleefully anachronistic comedy." -- Kirkus Reviews
